Told through death-defying acrobatics, awe-inspiring choreography and movement, and original music, the still- to-be-named production at Club Fugazi invites everyone to take exhilarating romp through both the essence and the myth that has earned San Francisco the place it holds in our collective imagination.
From the Gold Rush and 1906 earthquake to the Summer of Love and the mysterious fog, San Francisco will vividly come to life through a series of tableaus (acts) that pay homage to the City's stunning beauty, storied characters, and astounding resilience. The production will play seven performances a week at Club Fugazi.
The production will feature nine of the world's best acrobats who have graced the stages of some of the most prestigious venues around the globe. They include (in alphabetical order): Isabella Diaz (United States), Melvin Diggs (United States), Devin Henderson (United States), Ruben Ingwersen (Australia), Kalani June (United States), Jérémi Levesque (Canada), Natasha Patterson (United States), Enmeng Song (China), and Junru Wang (China).
